Blamed for Bee Collapse, Monsanto Buys Leading Bee Research Firm - 
Natural Society

Monsanto, the massive biotechnology company being blamed for contributing to
the dwindling bee population, has bought up one of the leading bee 
collapse research organizations. Recently banned from Poland with one of 
the primary reasons being that the company’s genetically modified corn 
may be devastating the dying bee population, it is evident that Monsanto 
is under serious fire for their role in the downfall of the vital 
insects. It is therefore quite apparent why Monsanto bought one of the 
largest bee research firms on the planet.

It can be found in public company reports hosted on mainstream media 
that Monsanto scooped up the Beeologics firm back in September 2011. 
During this time the correlation between Monsanto’s GM crops and the bee 
decline was not explored in the mainstream, and in fact it was hardly 
touched upon until Polish officials addressed the serious concern amid 
the monumental ban. Owning a major organization that focuses heavily on 
the bee collapse and is recognized by the USDA for their mission 
statement of “restoring bee health and protecting the future of insect 
pollination” could be very advantageous for Monsanto.

In fact, Beelogics’ company information states that the primary goal of 
the firm is to study the very collapse disorder that is thought to be a 
result — at least in part — of Monsanto’s own creations. Their website 
stated (at the time of writing this article):

While its primary goal is to control the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) 
and Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV) infection crises, Beeologics’ 
mission is to become the guardian of bee health worldwide.

What’s more, Beelogics is recognized by the USDA, the USDA-ARS, the 
media, and ‘leading entomologists’ worldwide. The USDA, of course, has a 
great relationship with Monsanto.
